Category Archives: Quiche

I’m feeling fairly productive today. I started out at 9am by making pie 47, a chicken and greek yogurt Quiché. I would qualify Quiché as a pie, mainly because it has to bake in a crust. I’ve seen so-called Quiché without crust but I think it’s more of an omelette. This one was relatively quick and easy; all told it took an hour and 20 minutes to make. Prep was 20 minutes and bake time was about an hour, give or take 5 minutes.

The Quiché inspiration comes from allrecipes.com with a few mods. The one I made called for sour cream but I didn’t have any so I used greek yogurt. Also, based on one of the comments for the recipe, I made sure to add more salt.

In medium frying pan, heat olive oil on medium-high. Add onion, green pepper and spinach. Cook three minutes, stirring frequently. Add cake flour and cook for two minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in chicken, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Spread this mixture over bottom of unbaked pie shell and top with Cheddar and Mozzarella cheese.

Combine eggs, milk and greek yogurt, mix until smooth. Pour over chicken mixture. Garnish top with Basil and Chives. Or use whatever spices you like as garnish.

Bake in pre-heated oven at 400F for 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350F and bake 30 to 35 minutes until inserted knife comes out clean.

After I finished baking, I went outside and cut the yard while waiting for this to cool. Productive:) I had a big slice after finishing the yard and it really hit the spot as a breakfast option. It was moist and tasty. It held together really well too.
